Jinice Show UPDATED


While looking at store websites, I found one that is doing classes on some of the classic Jinice painted canvases. These normally are outlined canvases with large blocks of color filled in. The canvas normally comes with a stitch guide and a skein of Watercolours which is the main thread used in the design. If you like Asian-themed canvases, you will enjoy seeing the Jinices. The fan and the Russian domed buildings are definitely Jinice designs. I don't know about the floral purse flap.


The photo above is another Jinice design, a kimono this time. This piece with its skein of Watercolours and a stitch guide just sold on eBay for $56.50 plus shipping.
UPDATE: After Cheryl said she had heard older Jinice designs would be re-released to take advantage of all the lovely threads we have available now, I found this page of Jinice designs. Some look as if they have been reworked already!

UPDATE #2: Needle Nook of La Jolla says that many stitch guides for these designs have been rewritten with the new threads available in mind. Danji owns the designs so if you are interested, ask your local shop to contact them.
